    done a search over the last 10 pages and no mention of it so:

    talked about this last year when i had access to the closed alpha.
    as far as i can remember it was $hite back then but today i get an invite to the closed beta.
    all changed now as you have to load a new download agent called Gface. i dont know why but im downloading it.

    so anyone else get a closed beta invite and have you played yet? and if so how is it.
    im on 40% download so if its crap you can save me the rest of the download :D

    I've played it and so has Deagleson, we both agree, it needs a lot of work. I got the invite a few months ago. I still have it installed though.

    Still in need of work but once its done i believe it could very well serve the FPS crowd stuck between CoD & BF3.

    thanks guys.
    its the latest closed beta released yesterday so they may have changed things.
    after the 43 step training im confused with all the shortcut keys. remapped quite a few but it will take time to get used to.
    havnt been able to play a game yet as it keeps crashing saying game is already open but its not.
    using the same style of interface for the log in is like battlefield 3 and medal of honour warfighter but as you say it still needs some work but it could be a winner once its all ironed out and the best bit is its free. only time will tell.

    finally got into a game after a reboot.
    its temperamental at the moment and keeps showing the game has stopped responding but then game opens behind error box.

    im pleasantly surprised, actually shocked is more the right word.
    the gameplay is almost the same as medal of honour warfighter even down to the kill cam shown in red outline also crysis sprint and slide is also used in this gameplay.
    if you get a invide dont ignore it. for a soon to be free to play this is looking good.

    only managed one game tonight. every other attempt failed with the same crash as a lot were getting in crysis 3 (below). im running the latest beta so i wonder if it could be that causing it.
    i cant post on their forum as have to wait for it to be authenticated by an admin.
    the gameplay is quite good once you can get into the game. i would give it a go and download it. and if you dont like it then delete at a later stage.
    im actually going to stick with it and see how it pans out. and the best bit of course is its free.
